• To see Maggie happy and thriving in high school has really sealed my commitment to Country Day. Yes, her ACT reading score is 34 and her GPA a 4.0+. But I’m equally proud of her strong sense of self and caring personality. This is my 13th year as a Country Day parent and I’m more excited than ever. — Alicia Graves
    Parent of Maggie (graduate), Aidan (4th grade) & Owen (2nd grade)

    Welcome to our new Administrator!

    Following unanimous recommendations from our faculty, board, and committee, we are delighted to announce the hiring of Conrad Rehbach as our new Administrator. Conrad brings a wealth of knowledge from his life’s work as a teacher, previous administrator, school founder, social worker, Waldorf educator, author, farmer and father. His business and management experience is also extensive, and we believe he can meet the changing and growing needs of our school, both as a mentor to faculty members in Waldorf teaching, as well as in the leadership role for our adolescent institution. Conrad started in his new role on July 1st, meeting with staff and parents, and is very excited about the opportunities the new school year presents.

    New Teacher Announcements!

    We’re pleased to report that Taylor Jaramillo will teach Grade 3 next fall! Taylor took over the second grade teacher position last February and has become an integral part of our community. She has bonded with her class and brought so much to her students. We look forward to her sharing her many talents with the school over the coming years.

     We are also excited to announce that David Kennedy is joining as the fourth grade teacher this year. David attended teacher training at Emerson College in England and brings eleven years of Waldorf teaching experience to the classroom.  David has been visiting CDS for three years, and after graduating his second eighth grade class last spring at the Shining Mountain Waldorf School in Boulder, Colorado, decided to join our faculty. His love of music and the arts is reflected in his creative class teaching. Please welcome him!
